[Verse 1]
        G
Well, I got my first truck when I was three
        G                   
Drove a hundred thousand miles on my knees
        C
Hauled marbles and rocks and thought twice before
           G
I hauled a Barbie Doll bed for the girl next door
             D                          D7
She tried to pay me with a kiss and I began to understand
        G*         N.C.                          G
There's something women like about a pickup man

[Verse 2]
       G
When I turned sixteen, I saved a few hundred bucks
 G
My first car was a pickup truck
      C            G            C
I was cruisin' the town and the first girl I seen
    G
Was Bobbie Jo Gentry, the homecomin' queen
    D7
She flagged me down and climbed up in the cab
         G*
And said, "I never knew you were a pickup man"

[Chorus]
        C
You can set my truck on fire and roll it down a hill
      G
And I still wouldn't trade it for a Coupe De Ville
         C
I got an eight-foot bed that never has to be made
          D                                    D7
You know, if it weren't for trucks we wouldn't have tailgates
      C
I met all my wives in traffic jams
             G*                           D*    D*  G
There's just somethin' women like about a pickup man

[Verse 3]
     G
Most Friday nights I can be found

                             G7
In the bed of my truck on an old chaise lounge
       C7
Backed into my spot at the drive-in show
           G                       C
You know a cargo light gives off a romantic glow
        D7
I never have to wait in line at the popcorn stand
               G*
'Cause there's somethin' women like about a pickup man

[Chorus]
        C
You can set my truck on fire and roll it down a hill
      G
And I still wouldn't trade it for a Coupe De Ville
         C
I got an eight-foot bed that never has to be made
          D                                    D7
You know, if it weren't for trucks we wouldn't have tailgates
      C
I met all my wives in traffic jams
             G                            D*    D*   G
There's just somethin' women like about a pickup man

[Solo]
G7  C  C7  G  G  C  C  D7  D

[Bridge]
  C
A bucket of rust or a brand new machine
D
Once around the block and you'll know what I mean

[Chorus]
        C
You can set my truck on fire and roll it down a hill
      G
And I still wouldn't trade it for a Coupe De Ville
         C
I got an eight-foot bed that never has to be made
          D                                    D7
You know, if it weren't for trucks we wouldn't have tailgates
      C
I met all my wives in traffic jams
             G
There's just somethin' women like about a pickup man

[Outro]
              G*                           D*    D*  G         D      G
Yeah, there's somethin' women like about a pickup man
